Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

I've owned Brooks Adrenalines twice before, and found this to fit more narrowly in the toe box than earlier models. I have a bunion on one foot, and this shoe put pressure on the bunion and pushed my toes out of alignment. The shape and size of the shoe bottoms are identical, so I think the snugness is due to a change in how the fabric is sewn; a change which probably wouldn't affect most people.

After wearing these for a few walks my hips were killing me.

Sorry Zappos, I give up! I've been searching for new sneakers for months. Hoka, Dansko, New Balance, Brooks. Either the size is off or the toe box is too narrow. I don't think there is a shoe out there that will make my feet happy. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 was my final effort. It was perfect in so many ways, cuteness, support, toe room. Only problem with this one is the sides are too high and after reading reviews that had issues with the sides rubbing II decided not to hope it will be okay. My old New Balance leather tennies must be 30 years old but even though they're outdated and ugly they don't make my feet or back hurt so I guess I'll just give up the search and hold on to them.

not as comfortable as I had hoped.

I have the GTS 18. This latest version did not have any better cushioning than my three year old pair. I wore a size 8 in the GTS 18 style, however the size 8 in the GTS 21 was too big. I also wish the x-wide option came in a less boring color.

They are very comfortable. The advice was to order a half size larger and I did. Good advice.

Ghost 13 are way more comfortable. These feel comfortable right when you put them on. If you are on you’re feet for extended amounts of time, my feet really hurt.

I sized up like everyone suggested and it was too big for me. Width was fine. Not enough arch support for me. Colours and style were great though.

I typically wear an 8.5 narrow width in Oaesics and New Balance running shoes. I have never worn Brooks shoes so purchased the recommended size 9.5 (which seemed huge to me). I just tried them on and they are a full size too large so I will be returning them. As the length does not fit I'm unable make a determination as to width or support. I will order the 8.5 keeping fingers crossed they work for me. I love the New Balance Fresh Foam for comfort but after wearing them for my walks (2-3 miles) I notice my hip, knee and ankles begin to ache. I am thankful Zappos carries a variety of athletic shoes for those of us with narrow feet. Thank you Zappos.
